Story
Meet Twilight! DOB: December 2019Weight: 12 lbsDisposition: Sweet, Chill, AngelicHistory: Relinquished to the shelter in a filthy, matted condition. Rescued by TBL in January 2026Best Home: Single or couple with a relaxed and calm lifestyle.Amazing Qualities: Twilight is one of the wonderful dogs we recently pulled from a very high-intake shelter in LA. He settled in immediately and has already made plenty of friends in his playgroup. He absolutely adores people—sit down with him for a moment and he’ll press his little body right up against you, clearly determined to maximize cuddle time.Twilight would be a perfect companion for a person or family looking for a gentle, low-key dog who just wants to be close to his people. Because of his size, he won’t be your hiking or jogging buddy, but he’d love leisurely neighborhood strolls. And if you decide to carry him instead, we’re pretty sure he’d be more than happy to tag along wherever you go.Twilight would do well as an only dog or joining an existing pack. His small size and low exercise needs make him a great fit for apartment living, and he should be fine with respectful children who understand he’s a little guy. He truly is the sweetest, and whoever adopts Twilight is going to be over the moon with their new family member.If you're interested in meeting this dog, please visit our website to fill out an adoption application: www.thebarkinglot.net/adoptOur dogs are located in San Diego County, CA.

Story
Meet Chiquita Chiquita is a gentle 10-year-old, 12 lb poodle–schnauzer mix with the sweetest heart. Her world was recently turned upside down when her beloved owner passed away. Through all the changes, Chiquita has shown nothing but love and a longing to be close to people. She adores cuddling, curling up in laps, and simply being near those who care for her. Chiquita has spent most of her life outdoors, so she isn’t fully housebroken yet—but she is eager to learn with patience and kindness. She currently lives peacefully with two other dogs and would do well in a home with furry companions or as the center of someone’s attention. This little soul has so much love left to give. All she needs is a safe, gentle place to call home and a family who will cherish her for the rest of her days. Will you open your heart to Chiquita and give her the second chance she so deeply deserves? If interested in meeting this sweet girl please reach out to her foster: Marta (650)740-0816 martalevison@gmail.comSeptember 4, 2025, 12:06 am

Charley is a 7 year old dog who is very energetic and needs a lot of attention as well as someone who is home a lot and I cannot have her with me any longer due to certain circumstances but I would like visitation rights which would revolve around the new adoptees schedule so please contact me for details about her if you are interested. She is very clingy but affectionate and might have separation anxiety if you leave her alone too long.
